# PIXEL Mail
An open-source web application that I have built as a learning project using React and Node.js. As a student and self-taught programmer, I have created this application to improve my skills and gain practical experience in web development and SQL.
PIXEL Mail is a simple email service that allows users to send and receive emails through a clean and modern user interface. It's a great project for anyone who is looking to learn how to build a full-stack web application from scratch.
This application is a work-in-progress, and I'm constantly making improvements and adding new features. If you're interested in contributing to the project, feel free to fork the repository and submit a pull request. Your feedback and contributions are greatly appreciated!

## Server Environment Variables

- **DB_PASSWORD**: the password for accessing the MariaDB
- **DB_NAME**: the name of the MariaDB
